·27 min·2 clips

Christiane reveals how a political science graduate ended up as a Scrum Master after working in a bank and a startup.

The episode begins with Marc Löffler introducing Christiane Häßler as a guest on the Scrum Master Journey Podcast. Christiane explains her background: she studied political science with a focus on international relations, worked various jobs including as a project manager and bank assistant, and entered agile roles during a bank transformation in 2019. She describes her current role as a Lean Agile Lead at a startup within the REWE Group, which she joined during the COVID-19 pandemic. Christiane discusses the non-linear path to becoming a Scrum Master, noting that backgrounds like political science are becoming more common. She highlights the challenge of gaining experience without prior opportunities, referencing the limitations of two-day certifications. When asked what excites her about the job, she mentions the fast-paced environment and team surprises. Christiane shares two failures: a retro format that fell flat and a more significant incident where she left a workshop overwhelmed and in tears, learning about self-management from it. She emphasizes the importance of reflection for Scrum Masters themselves, not just their teams. Christiane lists favorite tools like seasonal retros, Liberating Structures, and techniques like 'One Two For All' and 'Triss.' She explains her reason for joining the Scrum Master Journey community: to gain new impulses after 1.5 years with her team, appreciating the self-paced learning and community support. The episode concludes with mentions of upcoming community events like a year-end retro and Christmas party.
